JaSSon Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Has anyone seen these locally? It's a little buffer pad that fits into a drill. Similar to the Meguire's Powerball, but it's a 2"-3" pad. I've looked at Auto zone and O'Reilly's with no luck. Sears hardware perhaps?

Guest 614Streets Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 You have to be really careful with these as they are not controllable like a classic buffer and depinding on the drill , the chuck can be a nice paint scraping tool if you go near fender to bumper areas etc. Dewalt buffers are not too expensive I would invest in one rather than the drill buffer pads.

Guest Hal Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 I will try to remember to find one at work tomorrow. You can use a regular roloc adapter like the angle grinders use. That will accept the size pad you want, just make sure the pad is roloc as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiOn19s Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 If you read closely the powerball for paint was specifically designed to get into tight corners and crevices that a conventional rotary buffer setup can't quite get 100%. It's pretty goofy and ineffective to use on an entire car. Not to mention I highly doubt it'd finish out the paint very nicely either. For tough to reach areas great...for the rest of the car no.

JaSSon Posted October 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 I just want this for small, tight to reach areas and the occasional odd job around the house/garage. Anyone seen these in stores? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wnaplay1647545503 Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Buy a variable speed buffer. Your paint will thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaSSon Posted October 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 I already have a buffer that works quite well. I just want a small attachment for the drill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
